| Abstract: | β‐Diimine zinc dichloride complexes CH2{C(Me)NAr}2]ZnCl2 Ar = Mes ( 1 ), Dipp ( 2 )] were obtained from the reactions of ZnCl2 with the corresponding β‐iminoamines ArN(H)C(Me)CHC(Me)NAr]. Complexes 1 and 2 were characterized by multinuclear NMR (1H, 13C) and IR spectroscopy, elemental analyses as well as by single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction. The energy differences between the enamine‐imine tautomers of the β‐iminoamines were quantified by quantum chemical calculations. |
